LIST  OF  RARE  U.  S.  COINS 

IXDICATING  SOME  OF  THE  RARITIES. 


Half  Cents  1793  to  1797 ; 1802.  The  1796  is  the  rarest  of  the  series.  All  of  the  following 

dates  are  very  rare:  1831;  1836;  1840  to  1848;  1849,  small  date;  and  1852. 

Cents  1793  to  1823;  1856  Eagle.  The  1793  Clover  Leaf  variety  is  the  rarest  of  all  U.  S. 


cents;  only  3 known.  No  specimen  has  been  offered  in  many  years.  Two  of 
the  best  are  in  a well-known  Chicago  collection.  It  would  be  very  gratifying 
to  know  where  other  specimens  are  located.  The  1793  Chain  Ameri,  Liberty 
Cap,  Chain  America,  Wreath  lettered  edge  and  plain  edge;  1794;  Reverse  with 
87  minute  stars;  1799,  1804,  and  many  other  of  the  dates  referred  to  are  very 
rare.  The  1799,  1804  and  1856  Eagle  Cents  are  very  popular  among  collectors. 


Two  Cents  1863  and  1873. 

Trimes  1855;  1863;  1864;  1865;  1867  to  1873. 

3c.  Nickel  1877;  1878;  1884  to  1887. 

|;lalf  Dimes  1794  to  1797;  1800  to  1803;  1805;  1846;  1863;  1864;  1865;  1866;  1867— all  S.  The 

1802  is  the  rarest  of  the  series,  one  of  the  rarest  of  the  Silver  Coins.  There 
is  also  a very  rare  specimen  of  the  1859  Half  Dime  without  the  legend  U.  S., 
of  which  it  is  cldimed  only  4 or  5 were  struck  before  they  were  suppressed.  The 
1838,  no  starts,  O,  is  extra  rare. 

Dimes  1796;  1797;  1798;  1800  to  1805;  1822;  1844;  1894S;  1804  and  1894S  are  rarest  Dimes. 

L’Oc.  Silver  1877;  1878. 

Quarters  1796;  1804  to  1807;  1820  to  1824;  1827;  1853,  no  arrows.  The  rarest  Quarters 

^ are  1827  and  1823  in  the  order  named,  with  many  of  the  other  dates  given. 

Very  difficult  to  find  in  fine  condition — 1806  over  1805  is  excessively  rare.  Mr. 
Low’s  last  sale  of  a superb  specimen  brought  $165.00. 

Half  Dollars  ...  1794  to  1797;  1801  to  1803;  1807;  1815,  1836  Reeded  Edge;  1838  O under  bust; 


1852;  1853;  no  arrows  or  rays.  The  rarest  Half  Dollar  is  the  1838  0 under 
bust,  with  1796  and  1797  next,  and  many  of  the  dates  named  are  very  difficult 
to  obtain  in  fine  condition. 

The  1853  Half  Dollar,  0 — no  arrows  and  rays,  is  regarded  by  many  competent 
collectors  as  a myth.  No  speciinan  can  be  located. 


Dollars  1794;  1804;  1836;  1838;  1839;  1851;  1852;  1858;  1873  S;  1895  P.  Of  these  the  1804 

is  the  rarest  Dollar,  with  1794  second  rarest,  and  the  Pattern  Dollars  of  the 
thirties  and  fifties  all  very  rare.  , 

Trade  Dollar  ...1884  excessively  rare;  said  to  be  only  5 known. 

U.  S.  GOLD. 

Gold  Dollars  ...1854  C,  only  4 coined,  no  specimen  known;  1855  and  1856  D;  I860  and  1861  D, 


only  5 known;  1863  to  1872  P;  1870  S,  only  6 said  to  be  known;  1875  to  1880  P. 
1854  C is  the  rarest  Gobi  Dollar.  The  majority  of  the  dates  named  are  very 
rare,  and  all  of  them,  together  with  the  Octagon  and  Round  California  Dollars 
(which  were  of  ))rivate  origin)  command  good  premiums.  A glance  at  the 
prices  realized  for  these  pieces  will  snow  how  they  have  appreciated  in  value — 
Mr.  Mehl  reports  the  sale  of  an  1861  I)  at  $350.00. 

2.50  Gold  1796;  1797;  1798;  1802;  1804;  1805  to  1808;  1821;  1824;  1825;  1826;  1827;  1829 

to  1833;  1834  with  Motto;  1837;  1840;  1842  P & O,  extra  rare;  1843  to  1848;

other  dates,  with  their  varieties  are  very  valual)le  and  rare;  1841  P,  only  2 
known. 


$3.00  Gold  1858;  1866;  1870  to  1873;  1 875  to  1877;  18?1  to  1889;  1873:  1875  & 1876  are  very 

rare.  1870  S the  rarest — only  2 knowm. 

^(.00  Gold  1879  and  1880 — Pattern  Pieces.  'Pwo  varieties  of  ('ach.  'Phe  closely  plaited  hai 


variety  of  1880  is  rarest,  the  Mowing  hair  of  18S0  next,  and  the  plaited  hair  o 
1879  is  third,  while  the  1879  flowing  hair  is  im  re  numerous.  .\11  hut  the  latter 
are  excessively  rare.  Of  tin-  i)laited  hair  vaiiety,  only  two  or  three  are  known,

dates  are  about  as  follows  (lludr  value  based  upon  prices  they  have  brought  at 
auction  sales),  viz:  1822;  1815;  1819;  1827;  1828;  1829;  1832;  1797;  1824;

U.  S.  Coin  Values  and  Lists— C.  H.  Shinkle — Pittsburgh,  Pa 


$10.00  Gold  1795  to  ISOl;  1803  & 1804;  1838;  18410;  1844  P;  18.55  S;  1857  0;  1858  P;  1859  0; 

1863  & 1864  P;  1864  S;  and  1866,  1867,  1869  to  1873,  and  1875  to  1877,  all  P;  and 
the  1907,  two  varietites  of  St.  Gaiiden’s,  the  wire  edge  and  the  flat  edge,  the 
latter  of  which  must  be  considered  he  rares  of  the  series — only  50,  it  is  claimed 
having  been  coined.  The  1798,  4 stars  facing  is  very  rare. 

$20.00  Gold  1854  and  1856  0,  and  1882  to  1887,  all  P,  and  1907,  St.  Gauden’s,  high  relief,  wire 

edge  adn  same  with  smoother  edge.  The  1849  $20.00  gold  piece  is  the  rarest 
of  the  series.  It  is  unique,  the  only  one  coined  in  that  year,  and  is  owned  by 
the  United  States  Mint  at  Philadelphia.  This  piece  of  money  probably  enjoys 
the  distinction  of  having  had  the  highest  price  bid  for  it  of  any  coin  in  the 
world — $35,000.00  was  bid  for  it  a few  years  ago  by  one  of  our  Pittsburgh  col- 
lectors. The  offer  was  politely  refused,  with  the  statement  that  the  coin  was 
not  for  sale.

The  above  is  but  a partial  list  of  the  25c,  50c  and  $1.00  California  private  gold  pieces — 
enough,  perhaps  to  show  their  value.  A careful  assembling  of  the  25c  and  50c  pieces  show 
about  250  varieties.  The  Dollars  are  much  smaller  in  number;  only  about  30  varieties  of  the 
Octagonal  and  about  7 of  the  Round,  and  all  of  them  difficult  to  obtain.
